How to achieve a high grade in GCSE Italian

1 Learn how to give your opinion and include it whenever you can in your writing and speaking –

Mi piace/piacciono -- Non mi piace/piacciono,

Adoro -- odio,

Secondo me -- Penso che + subjunctive -- Credo che + subjunctive.
2 Use connectives to extend your sentences –

e,

o,

ma,

allora,

dunque,

perché,

quindi,

poi,

dopo.
3 Use past, present and future tenses and indicate them with time phrases/adverbs. If you are writing, for example, about healthy lifestyle it is a good idea to start with a paragraph talking about what you normally do, then something you did last week and finally what you plan to do in the future.

L'anno scorso sono andato/a in Italia.

Generalmente non bevo alcolici.

La settimana prossima mangerò molto cioccolatini.
